My Oh My (Slade Song)

My Oh My (Slade Song)

"My Oh My" is a power ballad originally sung by rock band Slade. The song appears on their album The Amazing Kamikaze Syndrome (released in 1983) and on the band's 1984 American counterpart release, Keep Your Hands Off My Power Supply. The song reached number two in the UK chart by Christmas 1983 and soon after became the band's second US Top 40 hit, reaching number 37. The single was kept from the #1 spot in the UK by The Flying Pickets cover of Only You. The single's chart run in the UK began at only #73, the following week it had moved into the top 40 at #36 and the week after it made #15. After, it stayed in the top 10 for 5 weeks.

Slade re-recorded the song in swing-style for the b-side of the single "Do You Believe in Miracles?", released in 1985. This version was apparently suggested by Frank Sinatra and was recorded with the Monty Babson Big Band. Holder did his vocal in one take after an evening in the pub.

The single was certified UK Gold by BPI in January 1984. In Sweden, the song topped the chart and was awarded in 1984 with a Swedish Platinum Award for sales in excess of 50,000.

The single peaked at #305 for 1983 on rateyourmusic.
